What Are the Strongest Psychic Pokemon in Pokemon Go?
Psychic-Type Pokemon were much more effective in the early days of Pokemon Go,
before the game added several Dark-type Pokemon and moves during its
big "Gen 2" update. Still, there are a handful of high CP Psychic-type
Pokemon that are viable plays thanks to their strong offense.
If you're curious as to which Psychic-type Pokemon are the strongest in Pokemon Go, we've picked out what we feel are the five best Psychic-Types in the game. Each slide will also list that Pokemon's best moveset, based on "damage per second."
Max CP: 2482
Best Moveset: Confusion/Psychic
Slowbro and Slowking are a tie for fifth for one simple reason: they're basically identical in Pokemon Go.
Both Pokemon have identical CP, Attack, Defense, and Stamina stats, and
both have the same ideal moveset of Confusion and Psychic. Slowking has
a marginally better potential moveset with Blizzard and Fire Blast
compared to Slowbro's Ice Beam and Water Pulse, but otherwise there's no
difference between the two Pokemon
4) Jynx
Max CP: 2512 Best Moveset: Confusion/Avalanche
Jynx, like most Psychic-Type Pokemon, has a strong Attack stat, but
mediocre Defense and Stamina stats. While Jynx isn't the best option as a
Psychic-type attacker, it can be used as an Ice-Type attacker if it has
the Avalanche charge move. Jynx probably won't last long against the
likes of Dragonite (which is really the only time you'd need an Ice-Type
Pokemon), but it should be able to get off a shot or two to weaken it
significantly.
3) Alakazam
Max CP: 2887
Best Moveset: Confusion/Future Sight
Although Alakazam is only the third most powerful Psychic-Type
Pokemon in terms of CP, it's arguably the best Psychic-Type attacker in
the game. With an Attack stat of 271, Alakazam has the highest Attack
stat of any Pokemon currently available in Pokemon Go.
Alakazam also has the excellent ideal moveset of Confusion/Future Sight,
which can dish out more damage than just about any other moveset.
Sadly, Alakazam has a very low Stamnia stat, so don't expect it to be
the best gym defender.
2) Exeggutor
Max CP: 2916
Best Moveset: Extrasensory/Solar Beam
With great Attack and Stamina stats, Exeggutor is a solid choice if
you're looking for a top level gym defender. However, its usefulness as a
Psychic-Type is rather limited. Exeggutor's potential Psychic-type
moves are both lackluster, and it's more likely to learn Grass-Type
moves than either of its Psychic-type attacks.
1) Espeon
Max CP: 3000 Best Moveset: Confusion/Future Sight
If you've been reading through our Pokemon Go rankings, it
shouldn't come as a surprise that an Eeveelution is at the top of one of
our type rankings. Espeon has one of the best Attack stats in the
game, third only to Alakazam and Dragonite. It's also one of four
Pokemon in the game that can learn Future Sight, which is the second
strongest charge move in Pokemon Go. Espeon's only downside is a low stamina stat, so it shouldn't be impossible to beat it if you encounter it in a local gym.

Nintendo/Paul Tassi The Dream Yesterday was a strange day for Nintendo fans who tuned into a new Pokémon Direct hoping for some relatively simple news: Pokémon is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Of course, technically, that did happen, but only in the form of Pokken Tournament getting ported over from the Wii U to the Switch in a new “Deluxe” package . But the fully-fledged Pokémon games featured in the show, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Gold and Silver for Virtual Console, were relegated to the 3DS. After the show, there was a brief flare-up of hope that due to a rogue listing, it appeared that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon may get a Switch release after all, but The Pokémon Company quickly shut that rumor down , saying the listing was a mistake. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are 3DS only, and there are no plans to bring them to the Switch. The two magic words everyone was looking for yesterday were “Pokémon Stars,” the long rumored, even offic...
